(Warning: This post contains spoilers for the Season 4 premiere of “SEAL Team.”)After suffering “40 fall brothers, a broken marriage, a broken body and a broken head,” Jason Hayes (David Boreanaz) told Bravo Team at the end of the two-hour “SEAL Team” Season 4 premiere that he’s out.“Leading Bravo Team has been the greatest honor of my life. But war has been my refuge for too long,” Bravo One told his teammates. “And I’m done. It’s time for Bravo One to take a step back from operating and find a life for Jason Hayes.”And star Boreanaz tells TheWrap Jason is not messing around here.Also Read: Winter TV 2021: All the Premiere Dates for New and Returning Shows - So Far (Photos)“For Jason, it’s a time of trying to figure out what life is like outside of the team. And I will say that that doesn’t go too well, it doesn’t bode too well for him,” he said. “I think one of the saddest things for all of these veterans that come back is that they don’t have that sense of unity or community that they sacrificed so much, and how they get treated. So we’ll examine a lot of that and ultimately learn about the character and how his plight is and whether or not he decides to rejoin or maybe just leaves the show.”Yes, Boreanaz might actually leave “SEAL Team” — but nothing has been decided yet.“It’s more about Jason and where his story has gone and where it’s going. I think what’s exciting about this character and the intense, realistic approach to them is that we’ve decided to pile it on that the character are open for being able to leave, be replaced, whatever that is. I mean, we don’t like to sugarcoat it. It’s tough, because we’re on a network show and part of it’s entertainment but we also want to be true to the storyline of what these guys really go through. And if that’s the case, then we can’t really split that up. We can examine it and look at it. But these are all probabilities and I won’t say there is anything written definitely in stone, it’s just there. And we’ll see how that unfolds.”Also Read: Here Are the Premiere Dates for Broadcast TV's New and Returning Winter Shows (Updating)Jason’s decision to leave Bravo Team this season came after his dear friend and team member Mandy Ellis (Jessica Paré) told him earlier in the “SEAL Team” fourth-season premiere she was leaving her life of service. But Mandy’s exit is more permanent than Jason’s — at least for now — as Paré is actually stepping away from the show.“There’s a lot of characters leaving, but then trying to find light in other areas for their careers for their characters,” Boreanaz said, referring to both Paré’s Mandy and Lt. Commander Eric Blackburn (played by Judd Lormand, who is now a recurring guest star on “SEAL Team” versus a series regular).“What’s great about Season 4 is we’re allowed and we’ve earned the right to really get underneath their skin and see where their head is,” Boreanaz added. “And they’re all not there. I mean, they’re going to lose a lot. When you sacrifice, you lose a lot. And in losing a lot, you see more doors open for them. And some will be good that the audience will like and some the audience won’t like. But it’s a continuous revolving door that we can’t shy away from.”“SEAL Team” airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on CBS.Read original story ‘SEAL Team’ Star David Boreanaz Says Jason’s Life-Changing Decision Won’t ‘Go Too Well’ This Season At TheWrap
(Warning: This post contains spoilers for the Season 4 premiere of “SEAL Team.”)Toward the end of the two-hour Season 4 premiere of CBS’ “SEAL Team,” Mandy Ellis (Jessica Paré) tells her dear friend and teammate Jason Hayes (David Boreanaz) that she’s made the difficult decision to leave her life of service. And with Mandy’s exit from the Navy SEALs team comes Paré’s departure from “SEAL Team.”Following Wednesday’s premiere, CBS revealed Paré will no longer be a series regular on the drama, but will return later in the season to make her directorial debut with an upcoming episode.“Our show strives to be as authentic as possible to the experiences of our service members, and similar to real life, SEAL Team units change and evolve so in our show some of the characters move on as well,” showrunner Spencer Hudnut said in a statement. “Over the last 3 seasons, we’ve seen how war takes a toll not just physically but mentally and emotionally. In this new 4th season, many of our characters will be at a crossroads and confronting tough decisions in their careers. For Mandy’s story arc, it was finally time for her to retire and leave this life of service, but this does not mean we won’t potentially see her again later.”Also Read: Winter TV 2021: All the Premiere Dates for New and Returning Shows - So Far (Photos)Hudnut continued, “On a personal level, we love Jessica and she has and will always be an integral part of the SEAL Team family. And we are excited to announce that she will actually be coming back behind the camera as a director for an upcoming episode this season, and this will be her directorial debut.”Paré has been with “SEAL Team” since the series premiered in 2017. Along with Boreanaz, the show’s other series regulars include Max Thieriot, Neil Brown Jr., AJ Buckley and Toni Trucks.“SEAL Team” airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on CBS.Read original story Jessica Pare Exits ‘SEAL Team’ Following Season 4 Premiere, But Will Return to Direct At TheWrap

Hulu has picked up the Elisabeth Moss-led limited series “Candy,” TheWrap has confirmed.The true-crime drama will star Moss as Candy Montgomery, the infamous Texas murderer and her victim, Betty Gore. Here is the logline for the series: In 1980 Texas, Candy Montgomery (Moss) seemingly had it all – loving husband with a good job, a daughter and a son, a nice house in the brand new suburbs – so why did she kill her friend from church with an ax?The project landing at Hulu not only reunites the streamer with the star of its Emmy-winning drama “The Handmaid’s Tale,” but also with writers and executive producers Robin Veith with Nick Antosca, who both worked on Hulu’s true-crime limited series, “The Act.”Also Read: 'A Teacher': Kate Mara Explains Why Claire Revealed Her 'Terrible Choices' About EricAlex Hedlund and Moss will also serve as executive producers on the series from UCP, along with Lindsey McManus. Jim Atkinson & John Bloom will serve as consulting producers.In a statement released at the time the project was first announced, Moss explained part of her reasoning for taking on the role: “I have been wanting to play an anti-heroine for a while now, and have been trying to work with Robin again after ‘Mad Men’ for even longer,” she said. “So when she asked me if I wanted to play a housewife from Texas who, some would say, got away with murder, I simply said, ‘Where do I sign?'”“Adding the opportunity to work with Nick after his incredible work on ‘The Act’ was like taking a delicious dessert and putting 100 cherries on top,” she continued.Deadline first reported the news.Read original story Elisabeth Moss’ Candy Montgomery True Crime Drama Lands at Hulu At TheWrap
(Warning: This post contains spoilers for tonight’s “The Masked Singer.”)“The Masked Singer” eliminated a trio of competitors at the end of Wednesday’s two-hour “Super Six” showdown, which saw the remaining contestants from Season 4’s Groups A, B and C come together for the first time.During tonight’s installment of “The Masked Singer,” Group A’s Popcorn and Sun, Group B’s Seahorse and Crocodile and Group C’s Jellyfish and Mushroom all performed to see which three masked celebs would make it into the finale in two weeks.After those hidden contestants gave it their all, it was time for panelists Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger, Ken Jeong and Robin Thicke, as well as guest judge Craig Robinson and “The Masked Singer” super fans voting from home, to pick their favorites to stay in the game. They chose Sun, Crocodile and Mushroom, which meant Popcorn, Seahorse and Jellyfish were deemed the night’s weakest performers and unmasked.Also Read: 'The Masked Dancer' Will Let Judges Hear Contestants' Voices So It's Not All Totally ImpossibleSeahorse was revealed to be singer Tori Kelly, Jellyfish was unmasked to be Olympic snowboarder Chloe Kim, and Popcorn turned out to be songstress Taylor Dayne.Along with Seahorse, Jellyfish and Popcorn, the full Season 4 lineup of “The Masked Singer” contestants includes Broccoli (Paul Anka), Serpent (Dr. Elvis Francois), Whatchamacallit (Lonzo Ball), Snow Owls (Clint Black and Lisa Hartman Black) Squiggly Monster (Bob Saget), Lips (Wendy Williams), Baby Alien (Mark Sanchez), Giraffe (Brian Austin Green), Gremlin (Mickey Rourke), Dragon (Busta Rhymes), Sun, Crocodile, and Mushroom.According to Fox, those 16 contestants — but 17 celebrities, because of the Snow Owls — combined “have sold more than 281 million records worldwide, appeared in more than 5,120 episodes of television and 204 films, appeared in five Super Bowls, have four stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, one Academy Award nomination and one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People.”Also Read: Serpent Talks Being the First Non-Celebrity to Compete on 'The Masked Singer'In two weeks, “The Masked Singer” will air its Season 4 finale, revealing whether Sun, Crocodile or Mushroom are declared the winner and given the Golden Mask trophy.

(Warning: This post contains spoilers for Wednesday’s “The Masked Singer.”)Tori Kelly, a.k.a. Seahorse, says she went to great lengths to trick “The Masked Singer” panelists into thinking she was a different singer by impersonating other artists during her performances on the Fox singing competition.“I think I definitely felt like, because I am a singer already and have music out there, I took that as an opportunity to do vocal impressions,” the Grammy winner told TheWrap. “I’ve always just loved doing it for some reason. And I thought this was a cool opportunity to show those little impressions, even if it’s just for a moment or two, just to try to stump people a little bit.”By the end of tonight’s “Super Six” semifinals episode, two of the panelists (and guest judge Craig Robinson) had correctly identified Kelly as the Seahorse before her unmasking, and they were the two she was trying the hardest to fool.Also Read: 'The Masked Dancer' Will Let Judges Hear Contestants' Voices So It's Not All Totally Impossible“The two singers [on the panel of judges] actually ended up guessing me, Robin Thicke and Nicole Scherzinger, which was really funny because they were my mission, to try and stump them,” Kelly said. “I’ve actually sang with both of them before at different times so I was like, ‘I’m going to try to throw them off.’ And I did — right till the very end, they didn’t know who I was, so that was fun.”Kelly did manage to fool Jenny McCarthy and Ken Jeong — who guessed Halsey and Christina Aguilera, respectively — but the “Never Alone” singer is well aware that her “vocal impressions” trick didn’t work on her followers.“Still didn’t stump my fans, because they know all of my impressions,” she said. “But I think it worked on the panel and maybe for some of the people watching. But moments like the Britney Spears song… all the song choices were very particular because I wanted to show different styles of my voice that people might not be used to hearing.”Also Read: Serpent Talks Being the First Non-Celebrity to Compete on 'The Masked Singer'Throughout her appearance on Season 4 of “The Masked Singer,” Kelly performed these songs as Seahorse: “Only Girl (In the World)” by Rihanna, “My Heart Will Go On” by Celine Dion, and “…Baby One More Time” by Britney Spears.Kelly says she wasn’t sure if competing on the hit Fox series was the right fit for her at first, but ultimately decided to take the network up on their offer because she wanted to show a “different side” of herself.“They approached me and asked if I would do it this season,” Kelly said. “I had seen the show before, I thought it was a really fun, wild show. I never thought of myself as doing it, but this year I had to kind of think about it, to be honest. I didn’t jump right away at the opportunity because I just didn’t know what I would do on the show.”Also Read: Winter TV 2021: All the Premiere Dates for New and Returning Shows - So Far (Photos)She continued, “The more I thought about it, I realized it could be a really cool opportunity to branch out of my comfort zone. I have a feeling that’s why many people do the show, to show a different side of them. And for me, it was showing that more confident side because people are probably used to seeing me with a guitar in front of me and I’m a little more on the shy side, I’ve always been, as a kid too. So for me, it was a cool opportunity to do something way out of my comfort zone and it started to sound really appealing.”“The Masked Singer” airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on Fox.Read original story ‘Masked Singer': Seahorse Used ‘Vocal Impressions’ to Stump Panelists – But She Knows It Didn’t Work on Fans At TheWrap
The NBA offseason is always compelling, delivering at least a couple “Game of Thrones”-level trades and free agent signings each year. And even though the offseason moved from summer to fall because of COVID, that hasn’t slowed down the news cycle any. The latest: the Houston Rockets traded Russell Westbrook to the Washington Wizards for John Wall and a future first round draft pick.This news took NBA Twitter by storm on Wednesday night, with pretty much everyone unloading joke after joke about the trade. On paper, it’s not a trade that seems like it would change much for either team — both Westbrook and Wall are high-scoring, ball-hog point guards heading to teams with high-scoring, ball-hog shooting guards (James Harden for the Rockets and Bradley Beal for the Wizards).But in the NBA, chemistry is just as important as superstars, and maybe the Westbrook and Wall will find better fits on their new teams. Westbrook is reuniting with his old coach from the Oklahoma City Thunder, Scott Brooks, and maybe that’ll help.Also Read: Behind the 'Best Quarter Ever' for Live TV Streaming Services Like HuluBut that’s something we can’t know until the season gets underway later this month. So for now, folks are mostly just doing jokes about how Bradley Beal is never gonna get the ball with Westbrook running point.Even with a trade like this where there’s no clear winner between the teams involved, the meme-fueled NBA Twitter always wins with its nonstop stream of jokes every time something like this happens.

That matchup will be followed by an intra-city faceoff between the LA Clippers and LA Lakers.When will we see Westbrook and Wall on their respective new teams? The league has only announced only a tiny portion of the schedule thus far — and neither the Rockets nor Wizards are on it. But the Rockets will have their first preseason game on Dec. 11 against the Chicago Bulls, and the Wizards will kick off their preseason on Dec. 13 against the Brooklyn Nets — a game that should also mark Kevin Durant’s first appearance on the court in a Nets jersey.Read original story The Best Twitter Memes About the Rockets Trading Russell Westbrook to the Wizards At TheWrap
(Warning: This post contains mild spoilers for Wednesday’s episode of “The Conners.”)Wednesday’s episode of “The Conners,” titled “Protest, Drug Test and No One Leaves the Nest,” featured a pivotal scene between Becky (Lecy Goranson) and her boss Robin (Alexandra Billings), during which Robin confides in her employee that she’s a transgender woman.The moment doesn’t so much serve as a coming-out; rather, it’s Robin revealing a private part of herself to a person she’s now choosing to trust.“She reveals it in one specific episode, and then really doesn’t talk about this anymore,” Billings said in an interview with TheWrap. “She says it one time. It’s not a subject that everybody crowds around a lot, because it’s not her whole being. It’s simply a part of who she is. So that, I really loved and I thought was really revolutionary.”Also Read: Felicity Huffman to Star in ABC Baseball Comedy Pilot in First Post-Prison GigRobin’s revelation helps explain her actions during the rest of the episode, which tackles the idea of generational shifts within protest movements. Robin confides in Becky as a way of telling her why she’s not interested in leading the charge in an employee-driven movement at the factory where they work. “I’ve done it,” Robin explains to Becky.“It got very emotional for me,” Billings said of filming the scene. “And I really don’t, to be honest with you, know what happened. … I’m a middle-aged person. I’ve been trans my whole life. And I’ve stood in those lines. I’ve marched in those parades. I’ve done all that. Robin is saying, ‘I have absolutely no desire to do it [anymore]. If you want to do it, that’s great. And I don’t think that’s where I am, but it’s part of where I am.'”Read TheWrap’s full interview with Billings below.Also Read: 'The Conners' 'Rushed Into Production' on Election Episode to Air Before Nov. 3, Showrunner SaysTheWrap: Can you first explain how you ended up on the show? What was it about the role that really appealed to you? Well, I loved the fact that Robin, first of all, was trans. And she reveals it in one specific episode, and then really doesn’t talk about this anymore. You know, she says it one time. It’s not a subject that everybody crowds around a lot, because it’s not her whole being. It’s simply a part of who she is. So that, I really loved and I thought was really revolutionary. And the second part for me was the way everyone around her received the news. You know, usually when a trans person reveals on television, everybody has a moment of like, Oh my god, right? Like, their wigs fall off. People freak out, step back, “Oh, no.” But that didn’t happen in this episode. Nobody has any side conversations about it, which I think is kind of remarkable. Like, there’s no two or three people huddled in the living room or the kitchen going, “You know, this trans thing is just really weird.” Nobody does that. They just sort of accept the fact that Robin is trans and a little bit of a jerk, which is great.There’s that moment in the scene that kind of nods to that, where Becky says, “plot twist” and then just kind of moves on with the conversation.When I read that, I was like, “Oh, this is genius.” And then she’s like, “Well, that’s interesting. Anyway…” [Laughs].ABC/Eric McCandlessSo when you were thinking about that scene and that moment, how did you approach playing it from Robin’s perspective? I love this question, only because it was more difficult than I thought it was gonna be — story of my life, by the way. “Oh, this is gonna go great.” And then all hell breaks loose. But I went in thinking, I’m gonna do the thing, and everything will be fine. But it got very emotional for me. And I really don’t, to be honest with you, know what happened. Because there’s a line, I’m paraphrasing, where she says something like, “I’ve already fought those battles” when Becky asks her to come march and fight. And Robin says, “I don’t want to. I don’t want to because I’ve done it.” You know, I’m a middle-aged person. I’ve been trans my whole life. And I’ve stood in those lines. I’ve marched in those parades. I’ve done all that. Robin is saying, “I have absolutely no desire to do it [anymore]. If you want to do it, that’s great. And I don’t think that’s where I am, but it’s part of where I am. I feel now that the younger generation needs to pick up the baton.”You know, I don’t know if you know this, my friend. Right now, as you’re sitting there talking to me, today [Dec. 1] is World AIDS Day. Did you know that?I did just see that, actually.So, you know, back in the day — because I’m probably old enough to be your grandmother — World AIDS Day has been happening since 1988. I was diagnosed in 1986 or ’87, way early on. So I’m 58 years old. I’ve had this disease for over three decades. I buried all my friends when I was in my 20s. My generation, who’ve survived this, we have lived through the marches and the signs and the petitions and the deaths and the burial. This thing that’s happening right now? This plague that’s exhausting you? This is my second one. And people keep saying — all kinds of wonderful people who don’t know what the hell they’re talking about — keep coming up to me and saying, “You know how I think we ought to navigate this?” I’m like, shut the f— up. Let me tell you something. I’ve done this, my friends. I love you with all my hearts. I’m sure you have the best of intentions. But I’ve done this. And let me tell you who we all need to be going to to get advice: queers. That’s who we actually need to be talking to in order to spiritually, emotionally and physically get through this. We need to talk to the elders and the queer generation in the queer community because we know how to do this. We know how to navigate a plague. We’ve done it.The reason I’m saying all this is because all of that stuff we’re really starting to come up and that little tiny little scene of Robin saying, “I don’t want to do that. I’ve done it” — it’s time for the younger generation to pick up the phone. It’s time for the younger queer generation to educate the straight humans. It’s time for people who are non-binary, the people who are rewriting the rules beautifully and magnificently, they now need to get in their cars, they need to put on their masks, they need to get the hell outside. And they need to be heard by the people they disagree with the most. Otherwise nothing’s going to change.Like you mentioned, Becky’s response is also kind of central to that scene. Did you have any conversations with Lecy going in about how you would play it together?No, we didn’t, actually. Isn’t that fun? Lecy is so open and available that no matter what we did, we didn’t feel the need to really sit down and discuss anything. First of all, we know the characters don’t particularly like each other. Which is really hard because she and I love each other so much, we don’t know what to do. Like, it’s ridiculous. But I think that’s what’s working. Because we love each other so much, and have grown to really respect each other as artists, that infiltrates the scene. So we just did the thing. And she was right there.When you think about where the dynamic between Becky and Robin goes from here, do you feel like it has changed at all? Or is it kind of right back to where they were in spite of this one moment of connection? No, I think it changes a little bit. Robin is a tough bird. You know, she’s crafty. But I really do think she has a soft spot in her heart for Darlene. I think Becky just bugs her for some reason. I don’t know why, but it’s sort of true. And I love [Lecy] so much as a human that it will absolutely have to seep in, especially after she and I have had this beautiful moment together. But, you know, she’s never on time. She’s always late. And she’s got a mouth on her, for the love of Pete. So I can’t pretend that’s not true. I just want to turn to her a couple times and go, “Get your shit together and I’ll stop being Bea Arthur, how about that?”ABC/Eric McCandless“The Conners” airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on ABC.Read original story ‘The Conners': Alexandra Billings Says Robin and Becky’s Heart-to-Heart ‘Was More Difficult Than I Thought’ At TheWrap

Nexstar’s local TV stations were dropped by Dish Network after the two companies failed to reach a new carriage agreement on Wednesday.Nexstar is the largest owner of local TV stations in the country with nearly 200 stations. Dish Network says around 5.4 million subscribers will be impacted. You can find the list of impacted stations here.“We made a fair offer to keep Nexstar stations available to our customers, but Nexstar rejected it,” said Brian Neylon, Group President, Dish TV. “Earlier today, we offered to extend the current contract and hold subscribers harmless while negotiations continue — once at 11:53am MST and again at 3:11pm MST — but Nexstar never responded. We don’t understand why Nexstar insists on prioritizing greed above American viewers, many of whom rely on local programming for their news and entertainment, especially during this global pandemic.Also Read: Nexstar Warns of Dish Network Blackout as Contract Deadline Approaches“Nexstar is demanding over $1 billion in fees for stations that are available for free over the air,” added Neylon. “This shocking increase is the largest we have ever seen. While we work to keep subscribers’ TV bills as low as possible, Nexstar has no problem passing the buck on to American consumers. It has turned its back on its public interest obligation and is demanding significantly more money for the same programming.”The stations went dark at 7 p.m. ET.In its own statement, Nexstar slammed Dish: “Since July, Nexstar has been negotiating tirelessly and in good faith in an attempt to reach a mutually agreeable multi-year contract with Dish, offering Dish the same fair market rates it offered to other large distribution partners with whom it completed successful negotiations in 2019 and 2020. Nexstar routinely reaches amicable retransmission and carriage agreements with its cable, satellite and telco partners and in the month of October alone, successfully completed agreements with nearly 200 distribution partners.”Read original story Dish Network Drops Nexstar Stations Amid Carriage Dispute At TheWrap
